For a small, essentially local music festival, the Gig Week’s got a lot going for it. This year’s edition saw singer-songwriter Prateek Kuhad, Doppler Effect, Getaway Submarine, Paperboat and others bring the house down at a string of pubs and clubs around the city. For the finale, they’ve got some of Indian indie’s finest – Zero, Superfuzz, Chaos In The Capital, The Urban Early Men and Gone Fishing – to warm up your evening.
